2 Forward Looking Statements This presentation is to be read in conjunction with the most current 10K available at the Securities & Exchange Commission website or This brochure contains statements that plan for or anticipate the future. Forward looking statements include statements about the Company's ability to develop and produce gold or other precious metals, statements about our future business plans and strategies, statements about future revenue and the receipt of working capital, and most other statements that are not historical in nature. Forward looking statements are often identified by words such as "anticipate," "plan," "believe," "expect," "estimate," and the like. Because forward looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, there are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied, including those described in our filings with the SEC. Prospective investors are urged not to put undue reliance on these forward looking statements.
